Irina Shayk, FKA twigs, and Gwendoline Christie Pose Nude for the New Pirelli Calendar

Irina Shayk, FKA twigs, and Gwendoline Christie headline the 2026 Pirelli Calendar, which this year centers on the natural elements and intangible forces: light, energy, air, and earth.

Shayk, 39, appears nude, draped in pink chiffon, creating a scene built around movement, fabric, and light.

FKA twigs, 37, poses fully nude, showcasing sculptural, expressive movement in an image inspired by the element of earth.

Gwendoline Christie embodies a more ethereal, luminous concept, evoking the idea of light itself.

The calendar also features Tilda Swinton, Isabella Rossellini, Venus Williams, and Eva Herzigová. The photoshoots took place in the United Kingdom and New York.

Photographer Sølve Sundsbø explained the concept: “I wanted to show not only the elements, but emotions, instincts, the desire for freedom and imagination.” He added that he chose women with experience and depth: “Some of them I had long wanted to photograph; others I wanted to reimagine.”
